Interestingly it's just him and Aouar in midfield with no "pure dm" ;)

Most people talk about his dribbling but his passing is damn impressive. His ability to pick a through ball from deep would be such a great addition to our attack. Him and Son would be a fun linking duo.


His passes are accurate and with just the right weight.

Nailed it. Said as much the other day. Yes he has the power to burst forward and has great physicality, works hard in defensive requirements of the game. But he's so much more.

His awareness and deftness of touch in the final third really do make him IMO, the complete package.

I've been really impressed with his ability to create chances almost every time I've seen him play. Last time was when he played Fekir in twice in a little over 4 minutes if I recall.

Looks real quality.

Judging by this game against Caen he seems to have time when he has the ball he looks like one of these players who when they get the ball they immediately become calm which possibly leads to his very fine passing which other people have mentioned. He doesn't seem like a quarter back making long passes over the opposition to drop on a sixpence more a Modric style passer low and precise.

To follow on regarding his passing.

Whoscored have him ranked at 19th as a player in Ligue 1.

However in the top 20 there is only one player with a better pass completion rate. Ndombele sits on 89.4% accuracy, whilst Veratti hits 91.2.

Again, highlighting N'dombele's ability to find and execute a pass.

But then, do any of us ever truly have 100% control of the ball? In one sense, yes. And in another sense, no. And in yet another sense, maybe.

It's one of those centuries-old questions that even Socrates couldn't answer.
Socrates was a quality midfielder...

Wtf he's mental



M Aulas on Ndombélé: "It was I who revived the PSG about Tanguy so he does not feel sidelined. I talk with the best European clubs but it would be nice, if he agrees, that he goes to #PSG
